Completion of Velo Rail project in Kiltimagh is on course

THE Minister for Rural and Community Development, Michael Ring, has announced that he has allocated a further €118,000 for the Velo Rail project in Kiltimagh.

This follows on from the allocation of €180,000 by Minister Ring for the project under the 2016 Rural Recreation Scheme.

Minister Ring said: “I am delighted to be able to allocate a further €118,000 for this superb local tourism initiative.
